proud of ya son

 

Dad just paid a lease… i bought it on my own.

 

GOVT PAID MINE

 

So your uncle paid it?

 

Come by and ask and I'll tell you the story, we don't share these details online.

 

So, anybody with tractor knowledge, I just saw a sale ad for a John Deere 790 right down the road from me and I’m thinking of looking at it. But I don’t know what I’m looking at when it comes to tractors. Obviously look for leaks, abrasion on the hydraulic lines, etc. but what else? And can anyone explain to me how the unsynchronized 8 speed works on that thing?

 

They are known as pretty good tractors, decently powerful for their size, lots of attachments available. I believe they were actually built by yanmar and just sold as a John Deere but yanmar has a good reputation. All the unsynchronized 8 speed is just a 4 speed with reverse and a separate shifter for high and low, all gear/range changes should “technically” be done at a stop

 

Yeah, too bad someone else bought it before I could look at it

 

Lame

 

Shame too, I can’t find anything else. There’s plenty out there that’s out of my price range and/or too big for me to transport myself

 

Whose second gen posted up at that shop in dover? Anyone here?

 

Out of curiosity, is there anybody here that has the ability/and it willing to transport a backhoe? I found a decent one but I don’t want to look at it if I can’t even transport it

 

like a little backhoe or a big backhoe....

 

Big boy Ford 555

 

Long weekend was nice to get chipping away on the real trailer build

 

I will never look at my garage the same way again after seeing yours....

 

Agreed... @Chux nice setup and Stick figure vibes

 

Hellyea!

 

Thanks man. Quiet the process. This October will be 3 years “breaking ground” turning the garage into a personal shop. But I knew what I wanted and just kept chipping at it. I spent a lot of time on details you won’t even notice or see unless I point it out, but it makes me happy. One of the best things about the garage is that the bedrooms in the house are far enough away that no matter how loud I am or how late it is.. Wife and kids can’t hear it. And it’s still and always a work in progress. Finding new storage ideas or finding a new home for new tools. With projects throughout the shop renno project, a wife and two kids now and still chipping at garage and other projects, I’ll sleep when I’m dead amiright
